They are they best. I agree about the photogaphy, though. I like the mood of it, but it holds the product back from being enjoyed. that said, how about those shoes!!! we heart also big time: mayfairworkshop.com!!! They are they best.

I think that mood shots, with warm lighting that still allows colors to pop, with slightly more straight-forward framing, and with a bit better control over focus / depth of field would have been exciting complements to the site design, while better presenting the products. And as a consumer, if i'm going to pay $306 for an 18 month old's cashmere outfit, maybe the photos could be a bit more styled and polished than having them sort of clump up against a wall. know what i mean? it's still a *very* cute site. i just see opportunities to improve the photography in future rounds. thanks. :) I don’t happen to prefer a “product on white background” thing either. ;)

And what is up with that precious little deer (or is it a tiny moose?) in their pictures? All the details are so fab. Thanks!
